Sep 14: Religion in Europe

Decline of Religion
A breakdown of religion in Europe, 2016, shows France and the UK to be the least religious countries.

According to a recent EuroPulse survey, the religious breakdown of Europe is as follows: 42% of Europeans say they are Catholic, 8% Protestant, 3% Muslim, 1% Jewish, 1% Buddhist, 8% other, and 38% say they are not religious.

The most Catholic countries are Italy (73%) and Poland (71%).

France (58%) and the UK (54%) are the least religious countries of the six, while Germany has the most Protestants (26%) and France the most Muslims (7%).

That's still a lot of people who claim to be religious - but how many of them actually belong to a church?

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
This is the personal blog site of an atheist astronomer.
